Sometimes, there might be more than one video for a single project. You can find these videos in this section. Explore more through this this dedicated video. I recently received a carepackage from Waveshare with a number of their Compute Module 5 boards. I have been using the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 for a number of projects and I was excited to see what Waveshare had to offer. The boards are affordable and have a number of features that make them great for a variety of projects. Reviews I’ve reviewed each board individually and provided a summary of the features, functionality and price. The boards are: CM5-Nano-A CM5-Nano-B CM5-IO-Base-B CM5-PoE-Base-A Compute Module Projects I’ve used Compute Modules in a few projects previously - the Atari 2600 IO Dev Board Case, and an unfinshed Camera project I’ll continue working on soon. The XGO Robot Dog also featured a CM5 module, though you’d never know as it’s tucked away in the head of the robot. Atari 2600 Case XGO Robot Dog Why they make for great embedded systems in robot projects The Compute Module 5 is a great option for embedded systems in robotics projects. It has a number of features that make it ideal for this type of application, including: Compact size Low power consumption High performance GPIO pins for interfacing with sensors and actuators Support for a variety of operating systems, programming languages & development tools There is a growing number of host boards that you can choose from Conclusion The Waveshare Compute Module 5 boards are a great option for those looking to use the Compute Module 5 in a compact design. They are affordable and have a number of features that make them ideal for a variety of projects. I would recommend them to anyone looking to use the Compute Module 5 in their projects.
